This beautiful box on the first pictures, as you can see, is hiding three products. They are all fairly new Maybelline products that were promoted in the campaign Make It Happen. I decided to write about my impressions of the three products I got on their promotion that I wrote about here.

Packaging of the mascara is very nice. It contains 9.5ml and costs 889 RSD. And that would be all of my praise. In my opinion it is a terrible mascara. Worst I've ever tasted. However ... it is also a matter of taste. The brush is rubbery with very short and rare spikes. Formula is medium density and sticky. In combination with this brush it gives disastrous results. As much as I try to remove the excess mascara, and apply it slowly and carefully, the lashes stick together even with one layer and look like spider's legs. The problem is that very small and rare spikes cannot comb eyelashes and mascara is essentially applied with a stick so it feels like you're applying it with a shovel.

The situation did not improved with time when mascaras usually get a little dry. The problem is not in the formula, but in the terrible brush. Formula should give large volume, which is what it does, but I need to have something to separate the lashes. Otherwise, the formula is good, it does not run during the day, nor crumble, and it is easy to remove using any makeup remover.

With a great effort I'm showing you one coat of mascara. It was very hard to made my lashes look decent. I did not even try to take photos of the second coat of mascara. All in all ... I would never buy this mascara again.

Let's move on to brighter topics. This eyeliner is marker-like. It contains 0.5g and costs 749 RSD. The packaging is chubby and flattened and fits nicely in the hand. Another difference from the standard eyeliner of this type is the top which applies the product. It is also chubby and flattened. Still, it easily and nicely draws thin lines when you use the thin side of the applicator.

This is not my favorite type of eyeliner, since these formulas are often rare and the colour is see through, so you need more layers. Luckily this eyeliner doesn't have such a problem. Also the applicator easily discharges colour. It doesn't need much pressure, and pressure can sometimes affect precision. Also, it is very important that the eyeliner does not run and doesn't erase during the day and is very durable. It is easily removed by any makeup remover without much rubbing.

For the end I wanted to leave the best product. These liquid lipsticks come in beautiful glass packaging of 7.7ml and cost 799 RSD. There are 8 shades (in other countries 10). Shade that I got is 35 Rebel Red - a bright warm red. The applicator is spongy and flattened, and with it it's easy to apply the lipstick.

What primarily distinguishes this lipstick is its formula. It's kind of creamy and different from other lipsticks of this type. When applied it doesn't dry out the lips and does not feel tight. Is remains creamy and light, even though it dries and becomes fixed and stays put. It is very durable, does not run, does not collect in fine lines, and nicely and smoothly erases. But most important of all is that it is so comfortable to wear. It is not as rare as for example Aura lipstick, but it is denser and more like for example Nyx lipsticks. It looks good even with just one layer applied.

Naravno crvene nijanse su zahvalne što se tiče formule i pigmentacije, a ja sam probala samo ovu crvenu nijansu. Mada koliko sam čitala po netu, svi imaju iste reči hvale kao i ja. Evo ga i na usnama i to u jednom sloju. Blago se providi i deluje vazdušasto. Veoma blago se sjaji i nije možda baš potpuno mat, mada ovaj efekat je nekako preuveličan na slici.Of course, red shades usually have good and pigmented formulas, and I've only tried this red shade. Although, as much as I have read on line, everybody praises them as I do. Here it is on the lips in a single layer. It is a bit see through and seems airy. It has a very mild shine and perhaps it's not completely matte, although this effect is somewhat exaggerated on the photo.
